I love a square card! It’s kind of unexpected, kind of different. Yes, it requires a little more postage if you’re mailing it. But it’s hip to be square! I played around with a technique that I saw Jennifer McGuire do today. She calls it spotlighting, but it’s different than…

This is a brand new stamp set for me. I’ve been eyeing it since the Mini Catalog came out in January, but finally made the purchase. It’s called Beautifully Braided and comes bundled with the Braided Punch. I didn’t get the punch, so I can’t give you an opinion on…
How is everyone faring? I trust you all are “sheltering in place,” as we Californians have been told to do! I suppose that is really the only way we are going to stop Mr. CV! Thank God for this craft of ours to keep our brains creatively working! So join…
I love the Poppy Parade color in Stampin’ Up!’s Peaceful Poppies DSP, but the native state flower in California is really more of a Pumpkin Pie color. Here is a photo from our front yard, showing a CA Poppy bloom: This vibrant orange and green is breathtaking. I had to…
